Overview

The Acting for Media program goes beyond just acting for film and television and comprises training needed to succeed as a screen actor: acting technique, movement, voice, and script analysis. Students will learn to articulate themselves through screen characterization, on-camera experience, and audition etiquette and standards. Graduating students will have a solid knowledge base of the industry including its history, structure and hierarchy, and professional standards. Workshop simulations, on-camera exercises, voice-over demonstrations, green screen training, and training in motion capture suits provide students with the skills needed to be a successful actor in the field. Thanks to technological advancements within the film industry, actors are being called upon to characterize in new and interesting ways. Students will be given a basic understanding of the use of such new technology as phonography and immersive environments. The graduate demonstrates the ability to: Present oneself for employment as a professional actor and provide services that meet professional industry standards and ethics. Create a character as intended by the writer through the study of screenplays, storyboards and commercial copy. Develop a believable character appropriate for the role and to the technological requirements of each recorded media discipline. Convey and sustain truth of character using relevant technical skills with appropriate emotional depth and clarity throughout the shooting of production. Work collaboratively with agents, casting directors, producers, directors and film crews. Develop and apply strategies for personal, career and professional development to enhance work performance and maintain currency within the industry. Employ improvisational skills for problem-solving and character development. Prepare materials that showcase his/her skills as both an actor and an entrepreneur. Perform the activity required for the character according to the recorded media.
